1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

rationaleMultiple primary malignant tumors (MPMTs) are defined as 2 or more independent primary malignancies of different histologies/origins in the same individual. Although the incidence of MPMTs is being increasing, second primary cancer (SPC) is still rare and difficult to distinguish from metastasis. Here, we present a case of thyroid carcinoma with lung metastasis and primary lung cancer. PATIENTS CONCERNS: The patient was a 66-year-old man diagnosed of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with lymph nodes, lung, and skeletons metastases. One of the pulmonary nodules had contrary manifestations, such as, noniodine avid, high uptake of F-fluorodexyglucose (F-FDG) and progress after iodine-131 radioiodine therapy.

interventionsCT guided biopsy and I-125 seed brachytherapy of nodule in right upper lobe were performed. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed of PTC with lymph nodes, lung, and skeletons metastases, accompanied by primary lung adenocarcinoma. OUTCOMES: After 2 years of follow-up, nodules of inferior lobes almost disappeared and the nodule of right upper lobe shrank to only 0.7 cm. LESSONS: Physicians should be aware of SPC in clinical work, and improve the early diagnosis rate with a variety of examination methods and select the best treatment to improve the prognosis of patients.
